The synthesis and transport properties of the Li6La3BiSnO1212 solid electrolyte by a solid-state reaction were reported. The condition to synthesize the Li6La3BiSnO1212 is 785 °C for 36 h in air. The refined lattice constant of Li6La3 BiSnO1212 is 13.007 ?. Qualitative phase analysis by X-ray powder diffraction patterns combined with the Rietveld method reveals garnet type compounds as major phases. The Li-ion conductivity of the prepared Li6La3BiSnO12 is 0.85×10-4 S/cm at 22 °C, which is comparable with that of the Li5La3Bi2O12. The Li6La3BiSnO1212 compounds are chemically stable against Li CoO2 which is widely used as cathode material up to 700 °C but not against the Li Mn2O4 if the temperature is higher than 550 °C. The Li6La3 BiSnO1212 exhibits higher chemical stability than Li5La3Bi2O12, which is due to Sn substitution for Bi.
